Some of you will have seen some very fast times being achieved at Laguna
1:03.32 has been achieved using RAIN tyres - I had a go last night and
quickly got in to the 1:05s with rain tyres on - the time of 1:03 is STILL
2.5 seconds faster than me - it IS a good time.
Just don't be depressed if you are running 1:08s with soft tyres!
I guess these would not last long in race conditions - but even so rain
tyres should not make for qualifying tyres!
